Additionally, more than 5,000 who enrolled at Florida VA facilities over the past 10 years have never had appointments. About 37 percent of the U.S. sites visited by the feds will require further review based on responses from front-line staff, including facilities in Gainesville, Bay Pines, Lake City and Pensacola. The audit of 731 VA hospitals and outpatient clinics around the U.S. found that a complicated appointment process created confusion among scheduling clerks and supervisors. A 14-day goal for seeing first-time patients was unattainable given the growing demand among veterans for health care and poor planning, the audit said. The VA has abandoned that goal. The audit noted 13 percent of VA schedulers reported supervisors telling them to falsify appointment dates to make waiting times appear shorter. The massive data release comes amid growing nationwide concerns with veterans care. Last month, long wait times and secret waiting lists ultimately prompted the resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. The issue has also become a political thorn for the Obama administration during mid-term elections, which Republicans have seized on.

VA HOSPITAL continued on 3ABy EMILY STANTONestanton@lakecityreporter.comA storm Sunday night left a Lake City womans backyard devastated, and more rough weather could be on the way. The National Weather Service forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms until Sunday. Wednesday has a 70 percent chance of rain; Thursday has a 50 percent chance; Friday has a 40 percent chance; and Saturday and Sunday both have a 50 percent chance of rain. A large oak tree fell at the Polk Lane home between 6:30 and 7 Sunday night, destroying Linda Mays septic tank and a wheelchair ramp. It will cost an estimated $5,000 to remove the fallen tree. May said her insurance only covers a fraction of the damage. It was the worst the contractor had seen, May said. The rain and wind came around 6 p.m., May said, and continued to intensify. Then around 7 p.m. she heard the tree fall. It scared me so bad I almost had a heart attack, May said. It was like a nightmare. Gusts at 6:55 p.m. reached 44 mph, according to Shayne Morgan, Columbia Countys emergency management director, but it doesnt take a heavy wind to uproot trees after extended periods of heavy rain, officials said. The tree landed across Mays yard with some of the oak ending up on her neighbor Joyce Spurlocks property. Spurlock said the storms winds created a mini cyclone. She saw the bushes in her yard sway back and forth from the powerful winds. It was going around and around and around, Spurlock said. Ive never seen anything like it. May is relieved the tree didnt hit her home of 35 years. Its got to be a miracle, she said. STORMS By SARAH LOFTUSsloftus@lakecityreporter.comA Lake City woman was arrested Saturday for spending $400 on a stolen EBT food stamp card, according to a Columbia County Sheriffs Office arrest report. Terri Rae Walters said she bought the card from a man on the street and didnt know it was stolen, but her friend told deputies she believes Walter stole the card out of her purse when they were driving ATVs together. Walters, 41, of 390 NW Parrish Court, was booked into jail on charges of larceny and fraudulent, illegal use of a credit card. She was released on a $10,000 bail. On Wednesday, the victim was grocery shopping when she realized she didnt have her EBT food stamp card. She called the card issuer who told her she still had $400 on the card. A day later, when she still couldnt find the card, she called the card issuer again -this time to cancel the card. Instead, a customer service representative told her there was no money left on her card and that on Wednesday evening her cards Woman faces charges for stealing her friends EBT food stamp card WALTERS continued on 3A Walters

The trial of Sami Osmakac continued in federal court. The 27-year-old Pinellas County man was arrested during a sting operation in 2012. Just prior to the arrest, he bought weapons, including a car bomb and an AK-47, from a man he thought was an arms dealer. Osmakac is charged with possessing an unregistered automatic weapon and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. He faces life in prison if convicted. On Monday morning, a forensic psychologist who spent more than 115 hours evaluating Osmakac, took the witness stand. Dr. Paul Montalbano, the deputy chief of forensic psychology services at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, said Osmakac has below average intelligence and suffers from depression.New trial in teens death over loud music argument JACKSONVILLE A Florida man accused of killing a teenager during an argument over loud music will face a second murder trial after jurors at his original trial deadlocked on the charge, a judge decided Monday.

Lets talk. investigate allegations of substandard care. VA officials blocked them each time. In letters to Republican Gov. Rick Scott and Elizabeth Dudek, secretary of the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, VA officials said federal facilities arent subject to state laws. The Gainesville VA hospital had 4,000 new patients who were unable to get an appointment 90 days after requesting one. More than 3,000 who enrolled at that facility in the past 10 years never received appointments. The Bay Pines facility in St. Petersburg was next in the state with 712 new patients unable to get appointments 90 days or more after requesting one. Nearly 1,200 who have enrolled in the facility in the past 10 years still not had an appointment, the audit found. A new patient had to wait an average of 63 days to see a specialist in Tampa and an average of 48 days in Miami and Gainesville to see a primary care doctor, according to the audit. The Sunshine State is home to 1.6 million veterans and boasts the largest population of World War II veterans in the nation, according to the Florida Department of Veterans Affairs. State officials said they filed the lawsuit after receiving numerous complaints with references to long wait times, lack of attention, unsanitary conditions and improper medical care. In a letter to the governor, employees at the West Palm facility said four patients fell between 2013 and 2014, causing serious injury and, in one case, death. Another patient missed a chemotherapy treatment because a chemo nurse wasnt scheduled. Another veteran in his 50s was having a pacemaker replaced when employees allege he went into cardiac arrest because the anesthesiologist used the wrong size needle. That patient developed fasciitis and underwent an emergency surgery to save his arm, but he subsequently died, according to the letter signed by concerned employees. A copy of the letter was included in the lawsuit filed by state officials. Meanwhile, federal officials have taken several steps to address the scandal, including hiring freezes at administrative offices. The agency also plans to use temporary staffing measures, including mobile medical units, to accelerate care for veterans on wait lists. VA HOSPITALSContinued From 1A JASON MATTHEW WALKER/ Lake City ReporterA pick-up is seen resting on its side after being involved in a wreck with another vehicle at the corner of U.S. Highway 90 and State Road 100 on Monday. Florida Highway Patrol, Columbia County Sheriffs Office, Columbia County Fire Department and Lifeguard Ambulance Service responded to the wreck. Pickup overturns on State Road 100By EMILY STANTONestanton@lakecityreporter.comA crash on State Road 100 left a Lake City man and woman with minor injuries Monday afternoon, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Ralph Berkley, 54, was traveling east in the right lane of U.S. 90 alongside Gavin M. Triplett, 19, of Jacksonville, who was in the left lane, according to an FHP news release. As both vehicles entered the intersection of State Road 100, Triplett merged his 1988 Toyota pickup into the right lane, attempting to head south. Triplett struck Berkleys 2013 Nissan Maxima on its left side. Berkley came to a stop on state road 100 facing south. After hitting Berkley, Tripletts vehicle overturned on the shoulder of State Road 100. Berkley and his passenger, Tracy L. Mitchell, 49, Lake City, were taken to Shands Lake Shore for treatment of minor injuries. Triplett and his passenger, Victor A. Barone, 19, Jacksonville, were unhurt. Drivers and passengers were all wearing seatbelts, FHP reported. Damage to 2 vehicles totals $6,000. By JOSH LEDERMANAssociated PressWASHINGTON Up to 5 million Americans struggling to make their monthly student loan payments could find relief under a program President Barack Obama expanded Monday, part of an election-year push by Democrats to paint Republicans as blocking common-sense steps that could help the middle class. Dubbing it a no-brainer, Obama also threw his support behind legislation to let some of those same borrowers refinance their student loans at lower rates, in a move the administration said could save 25 million borrowers up to $2,000 over the life of their loans. Im only here because this country gave me a chance through education, Obama said. We are here today because we believe that in America, no hard-working young person should be priced out of a higher education. With a group of student loan borrowers looking on, Obama put his pen to a presidential memorandum that will allow those who borrowed through the federal government before 2007 to pay no more than 10 percent of their income in monthly payments. Existing programs created by Congress and Obama already offer that benefit to recent borrowers; Obamas memo will make it fully retroactive.Prodding Congress, Obama acts to ease student loan debt Obama pin number had been changed. On being told her pin number could only be changed using her Social Security number and drivers license, she realized both were missing from her purse. In response to a Facebook post, Walters told the victim she paid $200 for an EBT card from a man who approached her at Scaffs Grocery Store on Northwest Main Street, the report said. Walters said he told her to use the card within 24 hours and then destroy it. Walters used the card at Spires Grocery Store and Save-A-Lot, according to the report. She told CCSO that she knew the pin number because the man who sold her the card gave it to her. However, the victim told deputies she thinks Walters stole her card from her purse after the two, along with other friends, took their children to ride ATVs last month. When they were preparing to leave, another friend buckled the victims children into her car then asked Walters to watch them for a few minutes. WALTERSContinued From 1A By TONY BRITTtbritt@lakecityreporter.comThe Lake Shore Hospital Authority Board will withhold its final $600,000 payment of the fiscal year to Shands Hospital after board members learned the hospital authority is projected to finish its fiscal year under budget. Hospital Authority board members on Monday unanimously voted in favor of withholding the payment after Jack Berry, LSHA director, told board members this years 1.5 tax levy will generate an overage. Weve paid $1.8 million (to Shands) and were budgeted to pay $2.4 million, Berry said. Berry said the overage is the result of efficient management of the indigent care program by Lake Shore Hospital Authority. He said the overage is the combined result of reducing the number of people who visit the hospitals emergency room and getting them primary care doctors to keep them healthy. The LSHA levies a 1.5 mill tax that generates about $3 million annually, $500,000 of which goes to the indigent care and prescription programs and $2.4 million of which goes to Shands for indigent visits, care and emergency room visits. Shands has an agreement with LSHA to run the hospital. The LSHA pays Shands $600,000 on a quarterly basis. The LHSA is uncertain what its final bill to Shands will be for 2014 and Berry said the $600,000 will be put in reserves until the board decides how the funds will be spent. Any funds left over from the levy will be discussed by the Hospital Authority Board and Shands to determine where the overage will be spent. The funds can be used for capital improvements at the hospital. In other business, the board heard a presentation from Dr. Emad Atta (OB/ GYN) about the possibility of building a medical office on LSHA property.LSHA projected to finish fiscal year under budget

R ecent events in Afghanistan aside from any battle news require once again to ask why exactly we were there in the first place. The answer, of course, was to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden for mastermind-ing the 9-11 attack on America. But just as we thought we had him in the mountains of this most primitive of civilizations, we decided it was more important to relieve the threat of Saddam Husseins Iraq and its weapons of mass destruction that later were found to be nonexis-tent  a figment of the imagination of our own Israeli-driven neo-cons fed by terribly bad intelligence. Now after a decade of dithering in the sinkhole of a country that no one has been able to drag into this century or the last or the one before that, we seem to have provided merely a decent interval before turning the clock back to the time before we got there. It can be anticipated that the Taliban  the theocratic thugs we helped create when we armed them against the Russians  will once again be utter-ly free to oppress their own people, at least in most parts of the country. Meanwhile, as summer approaches here in all its hot-weather news glory, we will wonder why a young Idaho kid named Bowe Bergdahl wandered off his remote outpost to become not only a victim of this entire comic opera but the focus of a major election-year political uproar. Was he disillusioned by the futility of it all and determined in his mind to see if he could not reason with the enemy? Was he just another American kid who sudden-ly believed he had made the wrong decision when he joined up in the first place? Was it worth releasing five definitely bad guys to get him back? We may never have a defini-tive answer. Whatever, he is but the latest victim of this decade of horror in a country where, while Bergdahl was being treated in mind and body at a military hospital in Germany, a young couple was being treated as criminals for being in love, the victims of the very culture so many Americans have lost their lives defending. They eloped and her family (the males at least) want nothing more than to get their hands on her so they can kill her and the baby she is carrying for dis-honoring them. If that werent enough, they captured her lover and turned him over to authorities on grounds he kidnapped her, an absolute lie, and needs to be put to death. It is a travesty of justice that any civilized court would even consider this. I forgot to mention, they also want her charged with bigamy because they had married her off in her absence to her first cousin, a per-son she wanted nothing to do with. They dont say when they want that charge executed  before or after theyve murdered her. Is it proper now to say what in the hell were we thinking when we decided our national secu-rity depended on protecting these people; that it would be all right to send our young soldiers to this forbidding place to be killed or have their limbs blown off or come home after too many tours and take their own lives. As for Bowe Bergdahl, it appears he was maltreated by his captors for most of the four years he was their guest. He went from private to sergeant during that time. But he refuses to answer to sergeant (you figure out why). Only in the few months when the Taliban or their allies decided they actually might be able to trade him for some big-time players in their efforts to suppress rational thought and democratic behavior did things improve for him. They figured out Americans have a problem with leaving people behind so they didnt off his head. Meantime, the former fellow members of Bergdahls platoon seem to have split in their support of him  some initially blaming him for all the deaths in Afghanistan and others taking a much softer view. His whole platoon was labeled by an Army report as raggedy. Too bad for Bergdahl that he is caught in the election-year storm. In the end, however, he at least has his life and all his limbs which is more than can be said for thousands of other veterans of this insanity.

BY EMAIL: news@lakecityreporter.com F lorida voters sent a message in 2010 that they wanted the once-in-a-decade process of redraw-ing political boundaries in Florida to be as transparent and fair as possible. They approved two constitutional amendments related to redistricting. One dealt with state legislative dis-tricts and the other with federal congressional districts. The amendments prohibit lawmakers from drawing district boundaries to favor or disfavor an incumbent or political party. Each measure passed with a healthy 63 percent of the vote. Two years later, when the first redistricting process began in earnest under the new rules, legislative lead-ers in charge of the process spoke of the need for integrity. They traveled the state gathering public input. But the testimony in a Tallahassee courtroom over the past several weeks shows the 2012 redistricting process was pretty much business as usual. Secret meetings were held, documents were deleted and a fake email account may have been created in an appar-ent attempt to hide the fact that Republican consultants may have helped draw a district map. Testimony ended last week and a judge will decide soon whether the Republican lawmakers in charge of the process violated the laws. If so, the judge could order the maps redrawn. The League of Women Voters, Common Cause and other voting-rights groups sued when they suspected the new 2012 congressional district boundaries were dra wn to favor Republicans, the party in power in Tallaha ssee. It doesnt matter that the liberal-leaning groups m ay have had political concerns themselves. What is importan t is that the districts looked to have been drawn with p olitics, not voters, being the overriding concern. Lawmakers responded to the suit by fighting to keep their deliberations secret. It took Florida Supreme Court rulings to force legislative leaders to testify, an d to get a consultants documents introduced as evidence. None of this inspires any confidence that the lawmakers were working for the benefit of the voters rather than for the benefit of their personal political interests. That confidence can only be won by conduct-ing business in the open and by attempting to follow the will of the voters who approved the amendments. This is not an indictment of the Republican Party. The history of redistricting in this country is replete with tales of back-room dealings by every political part y. By drawing the boundaries to pack a district with vote rs registered to a particular party, the lawmakers cre ating the maps control who is elected. Under our current system elections are essentially rigged before the ballots are even printed, wrote former Gov. Bob Graham and former state Comptroller Bob Milligan in a joint op inion column in support of the 2010 amendments. Redistricting shouldnt involve political consultants and secret meetings. The entire process should be out in the open, where the public can be assured the dis-tricts lines are being drawn fairly and in the best inter-ests of the voters. If nothing else, the lawsuit has put lawmakers on notice that engaging in the kind of sordid conduct associated with past redistricting efforts can now be exposed for all to see. Bring sordid redistricting process into the sunshine Q Tampa Tribune P ity the poor chicken. Like Rodney Dangerfield, he or she gets no respect. At Fernandina Beach, city fathers and mothers voted down an ordinance that would have allowed backyard chickens on private property, even though the county may let folks take their dogs out to dinner. Of course, the pooch-es must stay outside with their owners, wholl be eating on one of those patios or porches designed for diners who enjoy the company of mosquitoes and love bugs. But can someone take his pet chicken to dinner? Not even men-tioned. Fernandina Beach Commissioner Pat Gass apparently realizes that chickens are discriminated against. We shouldnt make it so difficult to have a chicken, she said in a meet-ing considering the fate of feathered friends of Fernandina. Amen to that, commissioner.The City of Jacksonville approved a pilot program that would allow backyard chickens, but people wanting permits were required to go to chicken school. (Chickens are slow learners, so they were excused from classes.) Is school required for people wanting to raise dogs or cats? Of course not. Well, you might argue, chickens can be annoying, getting up at the crack of dawn to announce the arrival of another day when youre trying to sleep in. But have you ever heard an insomniac dog bark early in the morning? Which sound is more annoying? Even the great state of Texas, home of some of my closest friends, apparently discriminates against chickens. Consider, for example, the concern over building a private rocket launch site east of Brownsville. Opponents argued that the launches would endanger some already-endangered species, mainly two individual cats of the ocelot or jaguarundi variety. These cats could be lost, they said, despite the launch companys plan to post warning signs along the road leading to the site. How many cats do you know that can read? Theyre just ahead of the chicken on the list of slow learners. Was anybody around Brownsville worried about the blastoffs frighten-ing the chickens? Apparently not. By the way, the launch site was approved, thanks to those all-impor-tant signs warning endangered cats to stay clear, not to mention prom-ises from the company to adopt a three-mile section of the beach and participate in beach cleanups. But chickens have never been big on getting a tan, so you dont find chicken litter on beaches. Dont get me wrong. I love dogs. I have owned a dogor he owned memost of my life. Dogs are great friends and dinner compan-ions. I have dined outside with the golden retriever and goldendoodle from next door. They have excel-lent manners. They do not talk with their mouths full. They do not pick their teeth under the table. But, doggone it, its time someone spoke up for lowly chickens. They have been discriminated against long enough. Maybe they and their owners should hold a sit-in, or set-in, at a fancy restaurant with an outside patio. And order corn on the cob with love bugs.

It is not a light show associated with concerts, but a process by the Columbia County Parks and Landscape Department to get the fields in better shape. Starting with the four fields on the west side of the complex, the county has installed new lights, bleach-ers with roofs and safety netting, and renovated the dugouts and playground area. Parks and Landscape Supervisor Mike Krieghauser and Alvin Meeks were hauling in clay on Monday, while Cris Panozzo and Clint Christie were moving in the seats. Panozzo said he had tilled the outfield 7-8 times and rolled it several times to flatten it in preparation for new sod. Keeping the fields clear of water is one of the main goals and the county has contracted with T. Mac Wilder & Associates out of Tifton, Ga. Mike Romett of T. Mac Wilder explained the pro-cess of laser grading using a dual plane laser. The laser is set up behind home plate and feeds to a receptor on the back of a tractor grad-er. It puts a tilt on the dirt and a grade so we can get the water off efficiently, Romett said. We set what they want the arc to be and the laser grades it to match up perfectly to the dirt. T. Mac Wilder did the work on Columbia Highs football field and Parks and Landscape Director Clint Pittman gave the compa-ny a tryout on the adult softball fields at Southside Sports Complex. We just took the lips off at the adult fields, Romett said. For the softball fields, the infield and outfield will be laser graded for drainage. We tilled the outfield this morning and are trying to beat the rain, Romett said. Rain is not good for constructing and we have got to start packing. Southside Sport Complex with adult softball, youth baseball and softball, soc-cer and recreation areas is keeping the county hop-ping. We are bringing in extra clay, where the water will run off, Krieghauser said. This is just the girls fields. We have something going on at every complex.1BSPORTS TIM KIRBY /Lake City ReporterColumbia County Parks and Landscape Supervisor Mike Krieghauser (left) talks laser grading at the Girls Softball Complex with Mike Romett of T.

Pictured are (from left) Caleigh McCauley, Brandy Morgan, Kayli Kvistad, head coach Jimmy Williams, Holl ianne Dohrn, Brittney Morgan and Lauren Eaker.Lady Tigers say goodbye to seniorsBy BRANDON FINLEYbfinley@lakecityreporter.comAnyone not expecting tears as Columbia Highs softball team said goodbye to its six seniors at the annual awards banquet at Westside Community Center on Monday at least made it through the pre-awards meal. Then the napkins turned into tissues. The team that won 31-straight game, captured the 2013 state championship, finished at the top of the state in home runs, was induct-ed into the Columbia County Hall of Fame, won three district cham-pionships, had 557 hits, scored 435 runs, and captured the heart of Lake City had the chance to say its final farewell. A couple of years back, after losing in our first regional final to Niceville, I told the team that this wasnt the end, only the begin-ning, Columbia head coach Jimmy Williams said. I said before the next season that this was the best team Id ever seen. Since then, everyone of them has had a chance to be the hero. I told them if they bought in, one day theyd be state champions. (Now) They have something the community can be proud of. Williams won the state coach of the year during 2013 and has amassed 66 wins in the last two years. He knows that he owes much of it to those girls. It was an honor to know each of them, Williams said. It was through their hard work that Ive won numerous awards. There was love throughout the building as each of the seniors (Hollianne Dohrn, Lauren Eaker, Kayli Kvistad, Caleigh McCauley, Brandy Morgan and Brittney Morgan) was named as MVP. Assistant coach Greg Sund choked up a little bit as he tired to remember the experience. To the seniors. ... he said. I love each and everyone of you like youre my own daughter. Being a part of coaching yall for so long has been an honor and a privilege that Ill remember for the rest of my life. And all of Columbia County will be able to enjoy in the memories. It was a team that won with raw athletic ability, but also used what was between their ears. Eight of the varsity players had above a 3.5 GPA and two more had perfect 4.0 GPAs. Ashley Shoup, McCauley, Eaker, Kebie Hogan, Brittney Morgan, Kvistad, Dohrn and Leslie Anne Ronsonet were honored for their grades and Kamdyn Kvistad and Tatum Morgan took home the Academic Award for finishing with a 4.0. Kvistad doubled up with Rookie of the Year honors alongside Kelbie Hogan. But the night was about letting go of the most successful team in the history of Columbia sports. Williams noted that it will be hard to live up to this group, but the junior varsity was 14-0 last sea-son. To end the night, the seniors took time to thank those that were most important to their success. All of us have a bond that can never be replaced by anyone else, Brandy Morgan said. Were like concrete. We can never be bro-ken. And that foundation started at home. We have to thank the parents for the foundation, because that is where it all starts, Kvistad said.

Page Editor: Emogene Graham, 754-0415 LAKE CITY REPORTER ADVICE & COMICS TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 2014 3B DEAR ABBY: As the executive director of the Hearing Loss Association of America, may I suggest that Mortified at the Dinner Table (March 2), who wrote about her in-laws poor hearing even with hearing aids, connect with one of our 200-plus local HLAA chap ters at www.hearingloss.org? These member-led groups offer emotional support, camaraderie, communication strate gies and techniques for living with hearing loss, both for people who have hearing loss as well as their families and friends. Most chapters also share information about assistive listening devices that link via a telecoil found in most modern hearing aids that could greatly enhance her in-laws hearing around the dinner table. Mortified might also want to accompany her in-laws to a hearing aid evaluation visit at an audi ologists office to learn more about their particular hearing difficulties. There is more to correcting hear ing loss than buying hear ing aids. Some users bene fit from assistive listening devices or from listening training that can be done at home with a personal computer. By joining HLAA, Mortified can receive Hearing Loss Magazine and get the latest informa tion about hearing loss and how to live well with it.  ANNA GILMORE HALL DEAR MS. HALL: Thank you for your letter and the information you generously provided. Any reader with hearing loss should check out the HLAA website for a more detailed description of the services it provides. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Many people who wear hearing aids find noisy environ ments problematic. As people age, their ability to understand can be difficult even with hearing aids. As a practicing audiologist, I recommend the following to my patients to help make communication easier. (1) Test hearing annual ly so hearing aids can be reprogrammed to current hearing levels if necessary. (2) Follow up with the audiologist for regular hearing aid maintenance and care. (3) In restaurants, ask to be seated away from high noise level areas; preferen tial seating may help. (4) Reserve confidential discussions for another time and location, which would make them easier for people with hear ing loss to understand.  AUDIOLOGIST IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ABBY: My 91-year-old mother is hard of hearing. I take her out to dinner once a week. I dont worry about what people around us are thinking. It doesnt matter what she wants to talk about. Im just glad shes able to get out and con verse with others. The con versations at tables near us are sometimes so obnox ious that Im GLAD my mother cant hear them. People are normally very courteous about help ing me with her, and many have told me they wished their parents were still alive and able to have din ner with them.  JUDY HOROSCOPES DEAR ABBY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Dont lose sight of whats really important to you. Take on additional responsibilities if it will help keep the peace.

Find out what those you are dealing with think and are willing to do. Be prepared to make a quick decision based on facts. New connections can be made and romance is on the upswing. ++++ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If a friend is in need, be ready to help out.

Spruce up your resume and show off your skills. +++ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Put your efforts into creative endeavors and home improvements. Dont let emotional matters take over, causing depression when you should be focused on developing something you want to pursue. Love is in the stars, and romance will ease your stress. +++ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take care of pending legal issues or financial matters. Once you finish laboring over paperwork, you will be able to relax and enjoy making positive changes at home. A move to cut your costs is a good place to start. +++ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Rest and relaxation would be nice, but you may find yourself involved in professional activities that cannot be left unfinished. Dont take physical risks that can lead to temporary setbacks. A partnership will prove to be more important than you initially realized. ++++ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep your emotions tucked out of sight.

Its what Miami did before Game 2 of the finals and its what Wade expects the Spurs to do before the title series resumes with Game 3 in Miami on Tuesday night. You never put them away, Wade said. I think they always believe and its the same with us. You cant, you wont, put us away because were always going to believe. Thats why this is a perfect, differ ent animal, kind of series. Theyre the other team like us. They dont lose much and when they do they come back and be better in the next game. So weve got to come out and do the same thing. That would explain why on Monday, instead of a day off, the Heat gathered to watch video of Game 2. By winning in San Antonio to even the finals at 1-1, home-court advantage now belongs to the Heat. But no one in their locker room thinks its going to get easy now. They came out great. They played a great game, Spurs guard Tony Parker said after Miamis 98-96 win in Game 2, the 13th straight time the Heat immediately followed a postseason loss with a victory. Now its our turn to go over there and get one. We played pretty well all season long on the road and so were going to have two great opportuni ties to try to come up with a win. Miami has won a fran chise-record 11 straight postseason games at home. The last team to win a playoff game in Miami was the Spurs, winning Game 1 of last seasons finals. We are in a tough situ ation because weve got to go to Miami and weve got to get one, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. We dont want to come back here 3-1 down. Its very hard to overcome that. Definitely going to be a great challenge for the team to play in an arena like that and having to win. A challenge, sure, but its one Heat coach Erik Spoelstra knows the Spurs can handle. Coming back here there has to be an incredible sense of focus and urgen cy, Spoelstra said Monday. Theyre a veteran, poised, championship-level team thats been through a lot. The crowd wont affect them much. Neither team thought it played all that well in the game that it won so far in these finals. The Spurs turned the ball over too much for their liking in Game 1 the game that will be remem bered for the air condi tioning malfunction and cramps inside a steamy building forcing LeBron James to leave in the final minutes. In Game 2, the Heat werent thrilled with a slow start and how they spent much of the game playing from behind.
